The capture of non-targeted species, or bycatch, is a major threat to aquatic biodiversity but is often overlooked in freshwater fisheries. This is a common side effect of commercial fishing and can affect a wide variety of animals from pike to platypus.\u00a0 Turtles are of particular concern as they are commonly found alongside commercially important fish but because of their need for air, turtles can drown.\u00a0 Juvenile turtles have naturally low survival and take many years to reach breeding age so populations rely on long-lived adults breeding many times to maintain themselves.\u00a0 In eastern Ontario there is a small-scale fishery which primarily targets sunfish but often accidentally collects adult turtles.\u00a0 Our presenters will address this multi-dimensional issue from the natural history of turtles, to the un-natural effects of bycatch and the concerns of managers and fishers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
